ERSIRENT at London Heathrow Airport (KV) took advantage of the language barrier. Despite repeatedly showing the printed statement from the rental service about not needing additional insurance, and stating in English 'I have all cover, no need other cover!', the staff didn't mention the £1250 deposit option. When I repeatedly confirmed if the three charges were all deposits, I got a confirmed response that 'ALL will come back to me.' However, when I returned the car, the staff said this was a charge and wouldn’t be refunded. They maliciously upsold the insurance. Essentially, I rented a car and ended up with two full insurance policies, costing me significantly more than usual. This has caused me substantial financial and mental distress. Customer service is handling it, and I hope for a good outcome.

When I called the contact center it kept on going on to the IVR, ultimately someone answered who seemed uninterested. Getting to your pick up point was a challenge since the call center told me a different stop than what it was. When I reached the pick-up point I tried self service machine which didn't work. When I tried to get attention of the staff at the counter, I was told rudely because I'm late they wont work for me. The chap was using foul swear words with his colleagues in Indian language while I was at counter, least mindful of the fact that I could understand Indian language. I saw a customer break into tears because your crew charged him $350 for a scratch on the wheel. For a moment I thought I had signed up to a scam shop and was scared if the same fate awaited me at the return. It was stressful. Best part of return the chap was fresh as a daisy even if it was almost midnight. He took the keys and completed the process in minutes. That still doesn't change for me the impression I got when I came to pick-up, I will always be scared that I could be paying $350 for a scratch so while I value this survey, you wont' be seeing me again ever !!

Nothing particularly wrong, certainly value wise. Staff friendly enough, car fine, service good. A couple of things to tighten up on though (some my misunderstandings but you could help others avoid)... Finding the location - I'd wrongly gone to the car hire bus stop at terminal 5 before realising you weren't on there. When I looked on the internet at the booking it said at the top 'available from terminals 1 -4'. As I saw that I didn't look further assuming I needed to go to a different terminal. I did so on the free train then found you weren't on that sign either. Only then did I look at the smaller print and find I needed to go to a specific bus stop for a specific bus. By that time it was very late. I had tried calling for advice several times but no one picked up which would also have saved me time. In hindsight I completely realise that it says on the detailed part of the voucher how to get to you but having travelled mainly abroad I'm used to car hire that's signed or in the airport. It never crossed my mind not to just follow signs for car hire and look for your desk.

Price was great and staff easy on pressure to upgrade.

very rude counter personal. will try to make you pay for damages that are already there because they do not mark it down because the car is given dirty
